They sure do feel like that though, don't you think?  It's hard for me to
imagine why else you would use a uri to set an api feature.  I guess I have
never liked this approach.

That would be a nice thing to do of course.  On the other hand the JDOM plan
for documenting code is to use javadoc.  If we do this for these feature
strings, then that simple statement is muddled.  Now if the javadoc was online
and the feature string pointed to the correct place with an html name reference?
